Featured review
An original and well-thought-out film; recommended
This is the story of a young black Canadian woman who wants to go to Africa, to connect with her heritage. She signs up for an exchange program, but before she is sent to Mali she has to go to a pig farm on Quebec, and work there for months in what she considers slavery. This well-thought-out film (the writer/director had a similar experience) addresses many dichotomies: black/white, male/female, African/Canadian, French/English, and the varying religions of the characters. There is a lot of humor, but it's a serious film with some very moving sequences. Some scenes fall flat (the actor playing her brother, in particular, varies between doing good work and bad), but overall it's a wonderful movie with an original setting.
